‘Nabanna Abhijan’

On Monday, the Joint Forum of West Bengal government employees petitioned the Calcutta High Court for protection against police coercion.

The NHRC has acted on police excesses reported during the 27 August 'Nabanna Abhijan' protest against the RG Kar doctor’s rape and murder.

Tensions rise in Kolkata as the 'Nabanna Abhijan' protest, condemning the rape and murder of a junior doctor, reaches the Vidyasagar Setu.

The BJP leadership in West Bengal has expressed moral support for the protest, which they claim is being led by the state's student community.

Tensions flared as police used water cannons to disperse protesters who clashed with law enforcement and dismantled barricades in Santragachi, Howrah.

The Kolkata Police have ramped up security for the upcoming 'Nabanna Abhijan' (March to Secretariat) set for Tuesday. The march is organized in response to the rape and murder of a junior doctor at Kolkata’s R.G. Kar Medical College and Hospital.
